One of the biggest features of SharePoint 2010 is the Office Ribbon. Whether you love it or hate it, it’s here to stay and eventually you will be faced with the choice of including the ribbon within your site branding. What can be edited and changed in the ribbon? Microsoft spent millions, if not billions of dollars to research and develop the ribbon so how much should we change?
Just because we can…does it mean we should?
The new whitepaper I just wrote on branding SharePoint has just been release by the company I call home, Non~Linear Creations.
